With news that the UFC plans to return to Dublin later this year, the only question is how involved featherweight Conor McGregor will be. With just a pair of UFC wins under his belt McGregor is quickly emerging as a major face of European MMA. The Dublin native could teach a Master's class on self promotion. Speaking with Irish outlet Severe MMA, McGregor says he'll be 100% recovered from his torn ACL for the July event.

"I've literally just heard the news and I'm definitely on that card," says McGregor. "July 19th gives me plenty of time, that's nearly too much time.

"I wanted to fight on the Independence Day weekend card in Las Vegas, that's something that I really wanted, but fighting on UFC card in Dublin is a dream come true and I don't give a •••• who they put in front of me, I will run through anyone."

"My knee has healed perfectly and I've already been working really hard in the gym, I've kept myself in good shape. Whoever it is, I'll be ready."

As far as an opponent the early chatter points to 21-8 featherweight Cole Miller, someone who once referred to McGregor as nothing more than a show pony. Miller didn't appreciate some of the Irishman's comments regarding American Top Team teammates Nik Lentz and Dustin Poirier, having called them 'boring' and 'PeaHead' respectively. "I don't like people coming into the UFC, and the guy's got the whole fighting Irish gimmick going on, and he jumps to the front of the line," Miller said back in January. In response, McGregor responded by mockingly offering to sponsor Miller's '16th Facebook fight' in the form of mentioning him in a tweet.

"They're saying Cole Miller are they? It probably is him. I haven't heard anything, I'm sure I'll know as soon as I check my emails, but that sounds alright to me," says McGregor.

"We're gonna showcase Irish martial artists to the world, it will be an amazing event. I want to put on a show for everyone, and that's what I'm gonna do. I told you I'd get there and steal the show, I told you I'd drag the UFC back to Dublin and I told you that my team mates would be on that card with me.

"Honestly, I feel like I can predict the future. I dare you to doubt me. I'm gonna beat whoever they put in front of me in Dublin and then I'm going to go and get that belt."
